Broncos stars including five-eighth Ezra Mam will wear football boots designed by First Nations students to celebrate NRL Indigenous Round.

Mam, alongside Kotoni Staggs and other Broncos players will sport the custom boots in the club's home game against the Penrith Panthers on Thursday.

Mam's boots, designed by his two nephews DJ Mam-Blewonski and Phillip Banu paints a picture of his heritage, illustrates where his family comes from and the people who inspired and shaped his successful NRL career.

Fellow Mabel Park State High School students Storm Nicholls and Makaylah Fing also contributed to the project, combining creativity with culture by painting DJ and Phillip's design onto Mam's boots.

DJ said it was a special experience to be able to design his uncle's boots.

"The opportunity to paint Ezra's boots means that I get to experience the culture that I am, and I get to paint the stories of our land and the stories of our people throughout the past years," he said.

After weeks spent researching, sketching and designing, the students worked tirelessly to reflect Mam's own stories of culture and passion, both on and off the field, using symbolism to tell their story.

"The sea turtle is what Torres Strait Islander people hunt and we used their shell as the design and followed them in a riverway towards the sea," DJ said.

"In our culture we use the back of the stingray's tails as a sharp weapon when we go hunting."

Reflecting on the family ties to his boots, Mam said the special boots are a memorable connection to his family, people and the sport he loves.

"I'm very proud of the artwork they did and hopefully all the boys love their boots as well," Mam said.

"I'm very grateful to my nephews for putting an art piece together for school and I'll be happy to run out in them this week."

Forming part of the Beyond the Broncos Girls Academy, painting the boots gives local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students a chance to connect with Country and their culture, while learning about another's story.

The initiative also helps to improve school attendance rates and academic participation for Indigenous students.

Woodridge State High School student Georgina Dargin painted Broncos centre Kotoni Staggs' boots for the match, drawing inspiration from the connection and unity between First Nations people.

"It's pretty exciting to be able to paint Kotoni's boots given he's a very influential Indigenous player," Georgina said.

"I think art is incredibly important as it's how we tell stories, and it's how we give information to our future generations."

Staggs applauded Georgina's outstanding artwork, saying he'll be proud to wear the boots come game day.

"It brings back all the memories from where I'm from back in NSW in the small town of Wellington and I can't wait to go out and run around in the boots and make my family proud," Staggs said.

The Broncos face the Panthers at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium from 7:50pm.
